I would suggest booting off a Windows 98 CD (or google for a Windows 98 boot disk and make one) and then invoke the command "fdisk /mbr" after you have deleted any existing partitions on the hard disk.
Also, avoid IE like the plague. I refuse to use even the most up to date version of IE for anything other than work stuff because no matter how secure you think it is, something like this always happens.
